Easy Access to Town and County Activities

In addition to these local activities, the Town of La Veta has a lot to offer within just a few blocks of our home. The Town is installing a new sidewalk for our residents, and crosswalks are planned on Main Street to ensure safe access to shops and other amenities.

​

Here are some of the things residents can access, many of which are within a few blocks of our residence:


Shopping: Go grocery shopping at Charlie’s Market for special items, or visiting one of the many arts and crafts stores

 

Libraries and Learning: The award-winning La Veta library is less than a five-minute walk away; books, movies, magazines are available, and the library offers a wide-range of learning sessions.

​
